So What Exactly Does This
"Universal Engineer" Do?
During the past Century, chemical engineers
have made tremendous contributions to our
standard of living. To celebrate these
accomplishments, the American Institute of
Chemical Engineers (AIChE) has compiled a list
of the "10 Greatest Achievements of Chemical
Engineering." These triumphs are summarized
below:

The Plastic Age:
The 19th Century saw enormous advances in polymer
chemistry. However, it required the insights of chemical
engineers during the 20th Century to make mass
produced polymers a viable economic reality. When a
plastic called Bakelite was introduced in 1908 it sparked
the dawn of the "Plastic Age" and quickly found uses in
electric insulation, plugs & sockets, clock bases, iron
cooking handles, and fashionable jewelry. Today plastic
has become so common that we hardly notice it exists.
Yet nearly all aspects of modern life are positively and
profoundly impacted by plastic.

The Human Reactor
Chemical engineers have long studied complex chemical
processes by breaking them up into smaller "unit
operations." Such operations might consist of heat
exchangers, filters, chemical reactors and the like.
Fortunately this concept has also been applied to the
human body. The results of such analysis have helped
improve clinical care, suggested improvements in
diagnostic and therapeutic devices, and led to
mechanical wonders such as artificial organs. Medical
doctors and chemical engineers continue to work hand in
hand to help us live longer fuller lives.

Synthetic Fibers
From blankets and clothes to beds and
pillows, synthetic fibers keep us warm,
comfortable, and provide a good night's
rest. Synthetic fibers also help reduce the
strain on natural sources of cotton and
wool, and can be tailored to specific
applications. For example; nylon
stockings make legs look young and
attractive while bullet proof vests keep
people out of harm's way.

Chemical engineers have helped develop
processes like catalytic cracking to break
down the complex organic molecules found in
crude oil into much simpler species. These
building blocks are then separated and
recombined to form many useful products
including: gasoline, lubricating oils, plastics,
synthetic rubber, and synthetic fibers.
Petroleum processing is therefore recognized as
an enabling technology, without which, much
of modern life would cease to function

Running on Synthetic Rubber
Chemical engineers played a prominent role in
developing today's synthetic rubber industry.
During World War II, synthetic rubber capacity
suddenly became of paramount importance.
This was because modern society runs on
rubber. Tires, gaskets, hoses, and conveyor
belts (not to mention running shoes) are all
made of rubber. Whether you drive, bike, roller-
blade, or run; odds are you are running on
rubber.
